Haneda motioned for the interpreter to go out as well, and then said to Fujido Takaei: "Your Excellency General, do you really let Xu Nineteen move freely?" ”

"Is that fake?" Fujido Gao Ying said, "Haneda-san, after the separation statement was issued, Xu Shijiu can no longer go back to the past, whether it is the Kuomintang or the Communist Party, even his old subordinates, they no longer trust him, even if he really wants to run, where can he run?" is still the same sentence, without the protection of the imperial army, it is difficult for him to live. ”

"That's right." Haneda thought it was true, the top-secret information just now was sent from the inner line of the top of the New Fourth Army, the Kuomintang military commanders, and the New Fourth Army had already sent action teams, ready to come to Longkou to eradicate Xu Shijiu, at this time, if Xu Shijiu didn't know each other, who else would he rely on?

Then Haneda remembered another thing and asked: "Your Excellency General, in your opinion, is it possible for Xu Shijiu to recruit the remnants of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui?" Now that the Kuomintang and the Communist Party have known about Xu Shijiu's defection, and the remnants of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui are afraid that they will also know about it, can they still listen to Xu Shijiu, the old chief? ”

Fujido Takayoung suddenly got up and shook his head while laughing.

Haneda was confused by Fujido Takaei's laughter, and asked in a daze, "Your Excellency General, what are you laughing at?" ”

Fujitang Gaoying suppressed his smile and asked, "Haneda-san, do you think that Xu Shijiu is not allowed to be allowed by the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, so he has to go down the road of surrendering to the imperial army with an iron heart?" ”

"Isn't it?" Haneda asked rhetorically, "Does Xu Shijiu have any other choice?" ”

"Haneda-san, what shall I say about you? You're thinking too simply. Fujitang Gaoying said, his expression became serious, and he said, "Don't you think it's strange that Xu Shijiu agreed so happily today?" Before this, I was still a little confused, but just now, I finally figured out that Xu Shijiu was gambling with his life, and he really wanted to borrow the corpse to return his soul."

"Gambling with your own life and borrowing corpses to return your soul?" Haneda is awe-inspiring.

Fujitang Gao Ying said: "To put it simply, under the blow of the cage tactics, the strength of the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese Salvation Army has been greatly weakened, and the first battle of Hulu Valley has completely defeated the only remaining bit of the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. ”

Haneda finally understood a little and asked, "Your Excellency the General is saying that Xu Shijiu went to the Niu Si military camp alone, on purpose?" ”

"That's how it should be." Fujitang Gao Ying nodded and said, "Do you think, Xu Shijiu, as the commander of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, is also a figure in the entire mountainous area of southern Anhui, will we easily kill him?" Don't we know that there is great benefit in recruiting him? Not to mention anything else, it is the most haode example in winning over the surrender of those national army guerrillas and biedong teams in various counties in southern Anhui. ”

Haneda said thoughtfully: "We can think of this, and of course Xu Jiu can also think of this. ”

Fujitang Gaoying nodded and said: "Therefore, Xu Jiucai did not hesitate to gamble with his own life, because he knew that it was very likely that we would not kill him, but recruit him, and he just wanted to take advantage of our idea to recruit the remnants of his Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, so that his troops would change from an anti-Japanese army to an imperial army, and naturally they would be able to escape this catastrophe." ”

"Then wait until Your Excellency the General leaves with the 14th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade, and Xu Shijiu will immediately lead his troops to fight back and regain control of Longkou County?" Haneda figured out the cause and effect, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and said, "Your Excellency General, if you weren't here, I'm afraid I would have caught Xu Shijiu, this Xu Shijiu is really insidious, this is really borrowing the corpse to return the soul A borrowing corpse to resurrect the soul is the corpse of the Southern Anhui Garrison Division of the Imperial Cooperative Army, but it is the soul of the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, amazing, we are still trying to create conditions for him and force him to surrender, it turns out that he has already had this idea"

Fujitang Gao Ying waved his hand and said: "Of course, this is just my speculation, Xu Shijiu may not have this scheming at all, but I think that we must think for the worst in everything." ”

Haneda said, "Your Excellency, I think this possibility is still very high. ”

"I think so too." Fujitang Gaoying smiled, "So, can Xu Jiujiu recruit the remnants of his Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, can there still be suspense about this?" ”

"There can be no suspense." Haneda said with certainty, "Xu Jiu will definitely be able to recruit his remnants."

Fujitang Gaoying smiled: "So, you don't have to worry about Xu Shijiu running away, you can let him move freely, before he achieves his goal, he will never take the initiative to leave, even if he wants to go to Erlong Mountain to summon his old department, you don't need to send someone to follow, if his surrender is fake, he will inevitably come back with the old department, if his surrender is true, then his old department will not allow him, he can only return it." ”

Haneda said again: "But Your Excellency General, if Xu Shijiu's surrender is true, his old department will not accept the solicitation and continue to fight guerrillas in Erlong Mountain, which will be a troublesome matter after all. ”

Fujitang Gaoying waved his hand and said, "If that's the case, then what else do you have to worry about?" You don't know how difficult Xu Nineteen is, with such a powerful character as Xu Nineteen to help you, are you still afraid that you will not be able to exterminate hundreds of desperate bandits? ”

"That's right." Haneda suddenly said, "It seems that I want to be complicated. ”

(Dividing Line)

Early in the morning of the next day, Shu Tongwen had just assembled his troops, and before he could start the march, Liu Chang arrived.

Liu Chang rushed over overnight, and marched more than 100 miles of mountain roads in one night, which tired Liu Chang enough.

Seeing Liu Chang appear in front of him with several strangers wearing black cloth robes and wide-brimmed top hats, Shu Tongwen was a little puzzled and asked, "Lao Liu, why are you here?" You don't protect the safety of the chief in Yunling, are you here to run our Yan Yiyu? ”

"Awen, something happened, something big." After speaking, Liu Chang pulled Shu Tongwen to a secluded place

"What did you say?" After listening to Liu Chang's relay, Shu Tongwen's eyes suddenly widened in shock, and he shouted loudly, "Captain, he has betrayed?" ”

"What are you shouting? What are you shouting? Liu Chang hurriedly stopped, "I'm afraid that others don't know or what?" This matter has to be kept secret for the time being, you know. ”

"Lao Liu, this is impossible, this is impossible at all." Shu Tongwen quickly calmed down and said in a low voice, "I believe whoever you say has defected, but you say that the captain has defected, I can't believe it, this is simply impossible, aren't you talking nonsense?" ”

"What nonsense? The comrades of the Chongqing, Yan'an, and Northern Bureaus, as well as the Shanghai underground party, have all confirmed this. Liu Chang said in a deep voice, "Xu Shijiu has openly issued a statement in several major newspapers, announcing that he wants to break away from the battle sequence of the national army, and there is a photo of him and Fujitang Gaoying on it, don't you think this is enough to explain the problem?" He's really apostated."

"I still don't believe it." Shu Tongwen said, "Even if what you say is true, I still don't believe it, the captain must have his reasons for doing this, but we don't know, I still say that, whoever defects will not defect."

After speaking, Shu Tongwen looked at the few people wearing black cloth robes and wide-brimmed hats, and then turned back to ask Liu Changdao: "Lao Liu, you are honest, are these comrades the killers of the enemy Ministry of Industry?" Did they follow the orders of the chief to go to Longkou to eliminate the captain? ”

Liu Chang nodded, and said, "Not only a few comrades from the enemy's engineering department, but also the military commander sent people from Chikou.

"Lao Liu, I don't care what the people in the military command want, but you, don't act rashly, please give me time, let me figure things out first, and then make a decision, okay?" Shu Tongwen said, and the person became excited, and then pointed to Liu Chang's nose and said, "Lao Liu, if you dare to mess around, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people." ”

"Shu Tongwen, do you want to Yu, do you want Yu?" Liu Chang was also annoyed, and said angrily, "I am here to help the traitor on the order of the chief, do you know?" I am here for the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War, yes, I know that Xu Jiujiu saved your life, and I also know that you have a deep relationship with Xu Jiujiu, but don't forget that you are a Communist Party member, you can't affect the revolutionary work because of your personal feelings, where is your party spirit gone, and where are your principles? ”

"Calm down, Lao Liu, let's calm down first." Shu Tongwen tried his best to suppress the mania in his chest and said, "I promise you, if what you said is true, I will not be the first to spare Xu Nineteen, but I also solemnly ask you again, please give me a little time, let me find out the matter first, and then make a decision, okay?" ”

Liu Chang looked at Shu Tongwen coldly and asked, "Are you responsible for the problem?" ”

"I'm in charge." Shu Tongwen raised his hand without hesitation and said, "If anything goes wrong, one person will be responsible."

"Okay." Liu Chang finally nodded, but still said, but I think it's superfluous for you to do this
